Noûs, 1999 The concept of niche (setting, context, habitat, environment) has been little studied by ontologists, in spite of its wide application in a variety of disciplines from evolutionary biology to economics. What follows is a first formal theory of this concept, a theory of the relations between objects and their niches. The theory builds upon existing work

A critical review of the recent advances in inclusion-triggered localized corrosion in steel
npj Materials Degradation, 2022 Localized corrosion triggered by inclusions is prone to metallic material failure. Except for chemical dissolution of some special inclusions, the principle of galvanic coupling is the most acceptable theory to explain the above corrosion damage ...

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
, 2019 Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]
, 2004 1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.
